package dependencies well outdated

[DickBaker]

cloned ok to my PC, but got many warnings on npm install (worrying to newbie like me) as below (incl 6 high vulnerabilities)
also current versions are well outside the acceptable required versions

However the basic code runs OK (even if I ran the npm audit fix), but the npm audit fix --force was indeed breaking
using GitHub Desktop to revert all thosse changes (needed another npm install) repaired it all

My complaint is that this legacy template is obviously ancient
MS please refresh it as per all the modernize urging being spouted. TIA
